J.C. SERVICES & SON LTD TO APPEAR ON ROVERS SHIRT
Monday 23rd November 2009
A multi-skilled joinery firm based just over 10 miles from the Robins Craven Park home, J.C. Services was founded in 1998 by lifelong Rovers fan John Connell who has since seen his business become a limited company in 2000.
Since their inception over a decade ago the company has expanded from a small operation to now employing more than thirty people and have twenty-six vans on the road providing maintenance to, amongst many others, East Riding of Yorkshire Fire Service.
As part of the sponsorship deal J.C. Services are contracted to maintain Craven Park Stadium as the club strives to improve the match day experience for all supporters visiting the famous stadium.
Founder John Connell has followed Rovers for more than 40 years and as his company has grown he has increased his investment in the club that means so much to him, starting with an advertising board and now set to feature on the Rovers shirt.
He is confident that the improvement of the club can continue in 2010, and believes the deal will be beneficial to both parties.
John commented: "I've always been proud to be associated with the club on a personal level and for my business to now appear on the shirt just adds to that."
"The deal has mutual benefits for both the club and ourselves in regard to the maintenance around Craven Park, and we are delighted to add Hull Kingston Rovers to our list of prestige clients," he added.

Hull KR General Manager, Mike Smith, said of the sponsorship deal: "John comes from a family of red and whites and it's fantastic that as his business has grown he has been able to grow his investment in the club."
"It is a family run business and we at the club share similar values which is why there has been such a good relationship between us over a long period of time."
Mike added: "Neither Hull KR nor J.C. Services are looking to stand still and rest on the success we have had over recent years, and that desire to keep improving makes it an ideal partnership."
The J.C. Services and Son Ltd. logo will feature on the sleeve of the Hull Kingston Rovers 2010 shirts that are set to go on sale on Saturday 5th December in Princes Quay Shopping Centre.
Both home and away strips will be available to buy after some of the Rovers first-team players have taken to the catwalk in the new kits at 11am.
